The sweet nuttiness of bay scallops (at their best in the fall), flavored with ginger and lime and then sautéed with toasted walnut halves—very enticing.

Method

Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add the scallops and stir until golden, about 2 minutes. Pour off the fat.
Stir in the lime juice and cook 1 minute. Then lower the heat and stir in the Lime Ginger Butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Cook just until a thick sauce forms. Stir in the walnuts, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
